Over at the Never Ending PORK CHOP Thread (formerly known as the Pork Chop Masters Throwdown), Al Czervik posted this:
Since then the rules changed to "no rules" and then eventually the throwdown became the never ending thread that it is now (but sounds like it might end soon).
One thing that hasn't changed is the sound of Peter Brady saying "Pork Chops and Applesauce" in that funky wanna-be Humphrey Bogart voice stuck in my head. In an attempt to exorcise that Brady Bunch sound bite out of my system, I cooked up some Pork Chops and Applesauce last night.
I started with 4 gala apples and this recipe for applesauce. I peeled, cored, and chopped up these:
and cooked them in a dutch oven in my Small BGE around 350 for 15 mins:
while the apples were cooking, I took out some boneless center cut natural chops and rubbed them with a mix of Yardbird and SM Cherry:
I got the chops onto the Egg and then took a potato masher and turned the apples into applesauce:
I also got some inspiration on this dish from a Dr. BBQ recipe for a Pork Tenderloin with Peach Barbecue Drizzle (in the Big Green Egg Cookbook). So the drizzle joined the chops on the Egg:
The chops came off at ITs ranging from 143-148 and then rested. The drizzle came off the grill on went some peaches rubbed with DP Pineapple Head rub:
The chops after a rest and joined by the applesauce and topped with the peach drizzle:
and then joined by some grilled peach:
Best chops I've made in a long while and the applesauce and peach drizzle were both great! Mrs. R2 was very happy with chops that actually had some moistness and loved the meal so I was happy.
Thanks for looking!

Pork chops eh? How about pork chops and applesauce? :heh:
I know... I know... They have to be part of the pork chops and not a side dish! :roll:
